About the Item
Henry Mirande (1877-1955)
Self-portrait, circa 1940
Graphite pencil and charcoal on paper
Signed "HM" lower right and signed with the stamp on the reverse
Annotation faintly legible in the upper right: « Le parcours et la morcure du temps / étude – tête italien / (…) »
24,5 x 19,5 inch
Provenance : family of the artist
Painter and illustrator born in Nice in 1877, Henry Mirande (ill.1) is mainly known for his illustrations published in popular satirical magazines at the beginning of the 20th century such as Le Rire (1894-1971) (ill.1), L'Assiette au beurre (1901-1936) or La Grisette for which he created the cover of the first issue published in 1894. Henry Mirande thus produced delightful drawings with a nervous line accompanied by captions that were always very fine and offered a humorous critique of his contemporaries' morals. The artist also taught graphic arts at the Académie Julian in Paris.
In the 1920s and 30s, Henry Mirande was entrusted with the illustration of several literary works, including François Mauriac's novel, Le Baiser au lépreux (1922), in a 1925 edition by Émile-Paul Frères in Paris, which included eighteen original lithographs.
Henry Mirande finally put an end to his collaborations with periodicals that had been supporting him until then, and retired humbly to his studio in Montmartre. He thus concentrated on his art in isolation, for nearly twenty years, and produced a more personal work. It was in this context, reclining on his hilltop, that Henry Mirande produced an important series of self-portraits, never exhibited, painted and drawn, to which the sheets we present belong. He stages himself in his studio and represents himself in a clownish way in various expressions that prove to be very touching. We recognize, in his sometimes enigmatic annotations, the humor that characterizes him.
The curator and art critic Robert Rey (1888-1964) organized the first monographic exhibition of Henry Mirande's work at the Stiébel Gallery in Paris in 1954, a year before the artist's death. A posthumous exhibition was held in Brussels in 1957 at the Europe Gallery.

Self Portrait, Charcoal on Paper, 20th Century British Drawing
By William Dring
Located in London, GB
Charcoal on paper
Image size: 4 1/2 x 4 1/4 inches (11.5 x 10.75 cm)
Mounted with a contemporary style frame
This is a somewhat haunting self-portrait by William Dring, crafted in charcoal. Here, Dring presents himself through dark shadow and bright highlights, looking out directly at the viewer with a serious gaze.
Although the Dring has been economical in the use of his marks we are still given plenty of information and can identify the energy in which the strokes of charcoal must have been placed onto the surface.
William Dring
Dring was born with the forenames Dennis William, but was known colloquially as John. He was the brother of the artist James Dring. He married the painter Grace Elizabeth...
